A Princess' Story
To some, she was an angelic figure; to others, a manipulative celebrity. While she was branded 'The Queen of Hearts' and 'The People's Princess', those closest to her would only talk of her eating disorders, her sorrow, her yearning to be loved, her search for solace and the anxiety that plagued her.
Having stormed into the papers as the royal bride, Princess Diana remained in the news long after her divorce.
Few days go by even now when British tabloids don't speculate on whether her death was a royal conspiracy.
On the thirteenth anniversary of her death, we look at the lady behind the legend, and the troubled life she led.
